In a video message about the activities of the solid waste landfill located in the Akhangaran district, which was distributed on social networks, in particular, the Kun.uz online publication, unfounded claims were made about the intentional burning of waste at the landfill and the resulting damage to the environment and public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding this situation, we inform you of the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, the intentional burning of municipal solid waste is not part of the technological process of landfill activities, and there is no economic or technological benefit for the enterprise from such an action. On the contrary, this negatively affects the operation of specialized equipment, contradicts environmental requirements, and causes additional financial costs for the enterprise. In this regard, the intentional burning of waste at landfills is strictly prohibited.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Uzhydromet data, abnormally hot weather was observed across the republic on July 11-12, 2026, with air temperatures rising from +42 to +46 degrees. Also, the wind speed on these days was 3-8 m\/s. Under the influence of high temperatures and dry weather, internal heating processes intensified in the waste layer at the landfill, and on July 11, 2026, spontaneous ignition (fire) occurred at some points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The information spread on social networks that the height of the fire reached 300 meters is completely untrue. For comparison, a height of 300 meters is considered equal to the height of an average 10-storey residential building. In reality, the height of the flame observed at the contact point was approximately 50-70 centimeters. This situation was clearly reflected in the video message distributed in the online publication.\nSpecial equipment and responsible personnel were immediately deployed as soon as the contact was identified. The fire hotspots were covered with soil, the debris was compacted, and the situation was completely eliminated on the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work on the disposal and compaction of waste at the landfill is constantly carried out using two 60-ton iron-toothed compactors. This equipment operates continuously in two shifts. In order not to interrupt the work process, fuel is delivered to them directly to the training ground area by a special service motor scooter.\nFor this reason, as stated on social networks, claims that fuel is being imported into the landfill area for the purpose of burning waste are untrue. The fuel is intended only to ensure the uninterrupted operation of specialized equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compactors are high-capacity special equipment weighing 60 tons each, consuming an average of up to 60 liters of diesel fuel per hour. Removing them from the test site will result in unnecessary time and fuel consumption. Therefore, this equipment is taken to the repair site only in the event of a technical malfunction or the need for scheduled maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, due to the fact that these machines are iron-toothed compactors and chain bulldozers, their frequent import and export to the landfill territory leads to damage to the pavement of internal technological roads, additional operating costs, and disruption of the workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that solid household waste includes aerosol containers under various pressures (deodorants, varnishes, paints, household chemicals), gas cylinders, residues of flammable liquids, solvents, and other hazardous (highly flammable) waste without sorting by the population. The occurrence of chemical reactions within these waste under the influence of high temperatures, the release of methane gas, and spontaneous combustion are natural and technological processes encountered in international practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, contrary to the opinions expressed on social networks, residential buildings are not located in the area adjacent to the landfill. The landfill is located in the \"Yangihayot\" mahalla citizens' assembly of the Akhangaran district, and the distance from the landfill to the nearest residential area is approximately 4\u20135 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that such cases are not unique to the Akhangaran training ground. Recently, as a result of a sharp increase in air temperature, cases of spontaneous combustion at solid waste landfills have been observed in the Republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, as well as at landfills in some regions of Uzbekistan. This indicates that these situations may occur not due to intentional waste burning, but due to high temperatures, combustible materials in waste, methane gas released during biological decomposition, and other natural and technological factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ask citizens and media representatives not to disseminate unverified information and to rely only on information from official sources on such issues.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
